â€œThis is a key part of our business strategy to expand in the international marketplace,â€ said Schmults. â€œIt makes strong business sense for a number of reasons -- the Jordanian government is stable, there is a high quality, low cost apparel manufacturing infrastructure, and finally, these new partnerships enable us to expand outside of Jordan into the region and more broadly around the world.â€ -more-Utilizing WT Tactical's extensive military apparel expertise, the Jordanian uniforms will feature enhanced fit and functionality, advanced fabric to enhance comfort across a broad range of temperatures and will provide a range of product options to meet the needs of the JAF.
